41 cases (2023-2025) · Indian River County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
Indian River County's intimidation cases show moderate prosecution intensity. The 78% conviction rate leaves room for withheld adjudications (12.2%, matching statewide average) and occasional diversion (2.4%, also statewide norm). However, no cases are dismissed despite the statewide average of 2.4%, suggesting prosecutors screen cases carefully and rarely drop charges once filed. Acquittals occur in only 2.4% of cases.
Confinement rates are substantial: 63.4% of defendants face either prison (39%) or jail (24.4%). The median sentence of 1,461 days exceeds the average of 940 days, indicating a subset serves lengthy terms while others receive shorter periods. Probation averages 1,167 days, and fines are minimal at $400. The absence of counsel data limits analysis, though outcomes suggest vigorous prosecution without offsetting diversion alternatives.
